In most environments this can be discussed, I think it is a specific subsection of IT professionals that are just quite militant about the subject. It is unpleasant, but just like all fundamentalists they're always going to exist. To m

So the attack must be useless, but if it was not it wouldn't matter because the software doesn't have to be secure to begin with. That's not a great mindset through which to view cryptography.

The numbers don't matter, because they're not about the core issue at all. My guess is that the post reads as if you don't understand that money can in fact be spent wrong and you are downvoted for this reason.

If the focus was primarily on value, a lot of comments would be significantly more scathing in significantly more cases. The fact of the matter is that if you work for a company that produces trash, that is fine - everyone has to eat. But n

Please leave this sort of pandering somewhere where it makes sense. Nobody comes here to read yet more state propaganda.

This "be careful of recording" line is harmful, because folks tend to read it and assume that it is universal - there are places where it is unilaterally allowed if you have good reason to suspect not having things recorded will r

Or you get a single eye exam and call it a day. The results will have your PD, which doesn't change.

Then you are an incredible outlier. The vast majority of folks that need glasses do not have this as the reason for the lenses being expensive. They're just being shafted.

Being able to autonomously do things as a community is healthy. All this corporate pandering is not.

There is no reason to believe it is secure, as it doesn't have reproducible builds. What you download has binary blobs embedded.

Stepped down maybe, but the fostered culture remains.

A degree gets you in the door at all and starts you off with a higher salary (I would say significantly so) than someone with no comparable education. Those two things are a huge advantage, both in terms of money and in terms of the odds th

If you're committed to being an idiot no amount of rules of thumb will save you. Not understanding what you use is one facet of being committed to that.

To business people, not having absolute centralised control over clients is a key issue.

The "ease" of slack and discord stimulate not understanding the underlying technology.

What is anxiety except those physical manifestations and how hard they make it to think?

I am entirely in agreement with you. That said, humanity has never been a defense against atrocities. If anything, it is the opposite. Humanity has for as long as I've learned history been gleefully and willingly committing atrocities

To people that loved their school days the current office culture is probably already great. To people that did not, the office is just as bad. Except it is worse, because it feels like something you inflict on yourself.

WFO is shit and delivers measurably lower work. That is what I have seen. It is not useful to say these things because everyone works in a different environment. You are essentially saying "what you say works best for you doesn'

Start with whoever nobody likes. You can probably find the least-liked 30% of the company by asking around. The big upside is you will get less grumbling for firing them! Everyone wins!

Respect comes from not doing it at all. Honesty and transparency are not worth anything when corporations can change this text at will. It is not permanent and there are no consequences for changing it.

I don't see how it makes sense to think this in a world where we have plenty of examples of robotic labour (stuff like factory produced cookies or cars). The increased use of robots has not assisted in making prices increase less at al

The luddites were right. Everything is worse because they did not win, which is obvious if you spend a second thinking about what them not winning means: more concentrated wealth, more disenfranchised workers.

I have no doubt this is really cool, but I could not get the website to work properly with an ad blocker. There is an absolute mountain of external JS being loaded (a lot of which is entirely unnecessary) and I can't divine which will

His perspective is essentially the same as ours would be of four-dimensional space: The space can exist, we can move through it, but we can only ever see three dimensions of it at a time. It is the same for mario and the way that makes sens
